True Indian team sucks in T-20 and  they are struggling to win any ICC tournament. if it continues then there are good chances of being chokers in the ODI. its safe to say Virat is not lucky captain when we talk about winning the tournament... be it ICC WC,CT or IPL same story Grin
I admit that India is slowly taking over the chokers tag from South Africa in top ICC tournaments while South Africa is slowly moving down the rankings these days. However, I blame the rules more than anything else.

1 match deciding the fate of a team? Really? When will ICC learn from federations like FIFA and NBA where they follow points system or best of 5 etc in order to decide the true winner? This is the worst thing about ICC tournaments in my opinion.

What an amazing century by Warner, it looks like he is back in form and its hard to believe that it was his first T20 century. Sri Lanka are struggling to survive and are looking like they will be bowled out before the 20 overs. Its been a poor performance by Sri Lanka but they do seem to play poorly in Australia so I'm not surprised.
Not just Warner, the whole Australian side showed up a magnificent performance. This 134 runs defeat after shattering down at 99, shows how poor Sri Lanka has been lately. Sri Lanka is stuck on a downward slope after Sangakara and Jayawardhne's era. Australia showed close to perfect performance today. Only chances Sri Lanka will have in the next game, will be if they improve their bowling attack, possibly by bringing in Udana and Kumara (replacing Sandakan and maybe Rajitha)

56 Balls Century by Davy!! What an innings. Surely a statement for every team out there, speaking for how ready he is for next years T20 World Cup

A very humiliating defeat for Sri Lanka. They finished at 99/9 and lost the match by 134 runs. The Australians literally destroyed them. And remember that during the next year's T20 world cup, Sri Lanka has to play in the first phase as well. Considering their current form, I won't be very surprised if they fail to finish among the top-2 and thereby being unsuccessful in qualifying for the next phase (Super 12).

BTW, very surprising match results form the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. Papua New Guinea is in trouble at 46/6 against Kenya. Everyone was expecting them to win this match and secure an automatic qualification spot to the world cup. In case they lose this match, then we need to wait for the results from the other match to see who will get the automatic qualification spot.

Aussies won the match by 134 runs. Srilankans were completely dominated by the Aussies with both bat and ball. The fact that Srilanka can't even get past 100 in 20 overs shows how miserably they have failed when the Aussies managed 200+ runs.

It's really bad to see the SriLanka 14 for 3 wickets in 4 overs. I never expected this  will happen in first T20 match between Australia and SriLanka it's going to one side game. I think SriLanka will be  all out within 20 overs.

Australia made 233/2 in 20 overs.

Absolute mayhem and bloodbath at the Adelaide oval. The Australian batsmen were brutal, and treating the Sri Lankan pacers like club cricketers. Some of the heroes of the series win against Pakistan have gone for plenty. Kasun Rajitha conceded an unbelievable 75 runs from his 4 overs (4-0-75-0)!!!!! Wanindu Hasaranga was the mastermind behind the series win against Pakistan. His figures stand at 3-0-42-0.

Nuwan Pradeep bowled a very good 19th over, else Australia would have easily raced to 250 plus. And one thing I liked about Australia was that although David Warner was so close to a century, he never tried to put his interests above that of the team. He was trying to give strike to Glenn Maxwell, as the latter was having a better strike rate. Somehow he got his century.. and congratulations for that.

Sri Lanka vs Australia first Twenty/20 is going on and Australian's have respect for Lankan's as they whitewash Pakistan just few days back 112/0 in first ten overs Finch and Warner are on top look like we are going to have 220 or 230 which is very big task for touring team.

They are 122/1 after 11 overs. Aaron Finch just got out after making a blistering 64 runs from 36 balls. The good thing is that David Warner is back in form, and is currently batting on 57 (31 balls). I expect Australia to make somewhere around 240-250, if they don't slow down. It is going to be a very heavy defeat for Sri Lanka this time.

Actually this match once again shows the gap between the big 3 teams and the remaining 9 test playing nations. Sri Lanka had recently whitewashed the no.1 ranking Pakistan 3-0. And see how they are performing against Australia now. The Sri Lankan bowlers look completely clueless and even the heroes from the Pakistan series such as Hasaranga are leaking plenty of runs.

You should not compare the Australian team with the Pakistani team.

Australian team is far better than the Pakistani team and Sri Lanka will not find it easy to beat them in this entire series.

Australia are comfortably placed in this T20 and have no match with Srilanka. David Warner and Glenn Maxwell are playing an excellent knock and Australia can easily make 200+ runs. It will be very hard for the sri lanka to chase this score on the fast Australian pitches.

Srilanka's tour of Australia starts today with a T20 match. Srilanka own the toss and asked Australia to bat first. After the fine running in Pakistan with clean sweep of 3-0, Srilanka must be more confident to repeat the same as Australia is having mixed performances in T2O like they are not having good stats in T20 like they do in tests and ODIs.

I hope for tough competition today but I guess Srilanka may win today too. Yes. it is going to be Srilanka's spin attack vs Australia's power hitting. But, Australia is batting first which may help them to bat freely without any pressure. I guess the key player for Australia would be Maxwelll and for Srilanka it would be Maillinga.

I guess that is the reason why India is lagging on international stage. They dedicate 2 complete months for IPL but not maintaining good rank in T20I rating.
The main reason for the low ranking is because i do not think they were playing T20 internationals like the rest of the nations and with the world cup coming up they are now concentrating on building a team and hence we will be seeing many tournaments in the lead up to the world cup.

Indian players are more suited to ODI and test formats. They don't have any power hitters, such as Andre Russell or Aaron Finch, nor do they have specialist T20 bowlers like Rashid Khan or Mitchell Santner. 
Players like Ashwin, Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Bumrah is more than enough to challenge any batting line up and Rohit Sharma is more than enough to challenge any bowlers and Kohli can chase  any score and with the bowling lineup India has they are able to handle any team Tongue.

It is actually surprising, because the Indian players play so many IPL matches every year.

All most all the top players from around the globe take part in the IPL. Right now there are are 8 IPL teams (proposal have been put forward to take that number to 10), and 8 overseas players are allowed in each team. So currently the IPL features approx. 64 overseas players and around 150 Indian players. Apart from the Pakistanis, all the top ranking players (irrespective of their nationality) participate in the IPL.

Do not forget that India were the winner of first edition of T20 world cup. They may not be having power hitters but they are able to tackle any bowling attack. Do you know that Suresh Rain is still holding the best hitting on power play overs. He did that for CSK and no international team so far unable to reach the mark of 100 runs in first six (power play) overs. I do not believe into power hitting always but only on techniques still I agree power hitting had helped many team to bail out.

India is the no.1 ranking team in most formats as per the ICC official rankings. But when was the last time they won a major ICC tournament? I can't remember any during the last 2-3 years. T20 has been especially problematic for them, as they had a few high-profile defeats recently. And the last time India won the T20 world cup was more than twelve years ago.

India surely has a huge surplus of good players but it's the best managed and balanced team that wins in most cases. T20 is mostly for batsmen than bowler.
Bangladesh team always lacked the confidence while playing with large teams but in a short form of cricket, things can easily turn and there would be fewer things to worry about.

Bangladesh team is also going through a lot of turmoil, and they also won't be in a good state right now. The players have threatened to go on strike at a crucial time. A series against India happens only once every two or three years and the BCB is heavily dependent on the revenues from this series. If the players conduct a strike, then their plans can get disrupted.
Afaik it has been setteled down and Bangladeshi players are back into the field. BCB has agreed to fulfill all of their demands.

And looking at the Indian team, it is composed of a mix of experienced and young players. Sanju Samson recently slammed a 200 in a domestic one day match and he will be looking forward to cement his place in the Indian team as the wicket keeper batsman. There are a few others, such as Dube, Sundar, Rahul Chahar.etc being given a chance here. If they can perform, then they can get permanent positions within the senior team.
BCCI is looking for that particularly finding out some gems before the t20 world cup. I guess Samson will have a good time since you know Bangladeshi bowlers aren't that much of attacking mode.
